EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraved portrait captures the triumphant moment of Hermit, the victorious horse of the 1867 Epsom Derby. The Derby, one of the most prestigious and historic horse races in the world, took place on June 21, 1867, and attracted a large crowd of spectators. Hermit, a dark bay horse with a distinctive white blaze on his face, was ridden by the skilled jockey, John Porter. The horse had been imported from Ireland and was trained by the renowned trainer, John Scott. The Derby, which was first run in 1780, is a flat horse race held annually at Epsom Downs in Surrey, England. It is open to three-year-old horses and is contested over a distance of 1 mile, 4 furlongs, and 6 yards. The race is considered a test of a horse's stamina, speed, and courage, and the winner is awarded the coveted Derby trophy. Hermit's victory in the 1867 Derby was a significant one, as he defeated the favorite, Bend Or, by a length and a half. The win marked the beginning of a successful racing career for Hermit, who went on to win several other important races, including the St. Leger Stakes and the Doncaster Cup. This engraving, produced by ILN (Illustrated London News), captures the essence of the excitement and drama of the Derby, with Hermit proudly displayed in the winner's enclosure, surrounded by jubilant crowds and the triumphant rider and trainer. The image is a testament to the rich history and tradition of horse racing and the enduring appeal of the Epsom Derby.
